Rich and decadent, Quiche Florentine, or Spinach Quiche, is simple to prepare with fresh ingredients like eggs, cream, fresh spinach and a flakey pie crust.
Roll out the crust and gently press into a pie plate of 9 inch spring form pan. Weigh down the center with pie weights or line with parchment and fill with dry beans.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove the pie weight or beans. Cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Top the crust with 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese and arrange the spinach in an even layer.
Pour the egg mixture into the crust and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for approximately 40 minutes or until the quiche is golden brown and puffed.
